Just look at the customizations we’re getting from day 1, AND map size/graphic etc. I worry about the relevancy of this already seasonal game if I imagine what the queue and retention rate for such content would be, adjacent to a flop expansion
P.S ignore the hairy brunette guy, its the content that’s more daunting.
Oh those textures are not going to age well…
He sort of looks like Jesus in this video.
No matter how DF turns out, my real end game is Ashes of Creation.
I’m hoping either ashes of creation or riot’s MMO can save the MMO market. Right now there is nothing. I’m only here as a last resort.
Exactly how I feel about it.
I’m not sure MMOs as a genre are really that relevant anymore.
I think there’s a lot of sunk cost fallacy with legacy players in their respective games and younger / newer players aren’t as into the neckbearding grind.
If any MMO will surprise to the upside, it will be Riot’s.
Actually, he looks like Cesare Borgia, upon whom contemporary depictions of Jesus are based.
It’s funny you say that regarding a game that has been in development for several years and still has no estimated release date.
I love this so much. 
WoW gets 2 years of development and you see how well that turns out.
11.0 will be out before AOC is even in beta lol
I think it is a bad idea to only focus on younger people in making games. Plenty of older people, who now have lots of money, still enjoy gaming. If every company just makes games focused on younger people, there is a completely neglected part of the market where billions of dollars are just sitting there waiting for a decent product to be made.
It was in Beta last year?
Edit: Alpha testing moving into Alpha 2, found my own answer.

Pretty graphics don’t buy my interest. I’m more of a gameplay person.
Isn’t that a pvp only game because if so it’s already going to be a dead game in 6 months.
No it isn’t.
They are relevant. Companies wouldn’t be trying to take market share if they weren’t. They are very capital intense to create. I do not think Riot would be dooking money out on a lost cause. Lost Ark is basically an isometric MMO and it’s doing fine. Granted better in the east than west but still doing well.
You just need to compare it to itself and not other genres. MMO games will never compete with mobile games in volume, nor with FPS games like call of duty or fortnite.
POE is tiny game, 150k players or something in its best season. Still going strong 10 years later. Not an MMO, but proof you can make a game for a small niche audience.
South park Jesus?
Blizzard knows after Classic Wrath they have to do something, why you think DF is going back to catermode?
Are people on the forums of all these other games talking about WoW?
